A decade and a half after the end of the second world war, Naples is still being rebuilt. Families subsist and live in little shacks whilst Attacone pimps a girl called Maddelena in order to make ends meet sitting outside the local café he talks with his friends. Pasolini's examination of postwar Neapolitan life is beautifully filmed and above all engages the viewer with an assortment of characters which one feels a great connection. There is never a sense that these people are being patronized or exploited and Pasolini encourages some warm performances from his group of actors. Touching, warm and funny at one point one of the boys in Accatone's company is so hungry that he bites at a carnation whilst the boys await the pasta they are cooking. Its a beautiful moment full of sad realism and its an image that lingers long after the film has ended.
